You now, collectively, owe me 200 dollars at which point I will spell check that post and call it an article.
I thought it was really good, especially the biker bar part and the explanation of the up / down spectrum. We'll bill you for the strategy, which after-all, is simply asking the right questions.
It's deliberately ambiguous. Realistically, you are not going to get hit with an edict violation for insulting a non-forum member. The reason it's ambiguous was, at the time, known to me as the "Sarah Palin Is A Cunt" stipulation. I leave it there in the event that a personal insult is sufficiently odious that we need a stick to ward it off with. It's much more likely to be a "hey, knock it off, edict" than a warning, because the SPIAC stipulation is so rarely applied. I think it's come up three or four times.
Like much of the edict, it was left relatively open because of the edict's potential to be a complete fucking disaster. People forget that, at the time, the edict was seen as my biggest fuckup and a clear sign that my adminship was about to end. There's a lot of hedging in the legislation of it for that reason, but it turned out that purely by chance the original drafting of the edict pretty much nailed it.
Huh, really? Crazy.
I remember the rule coming down and my current recollection of my thinking being like "Well, Nero has gone a bit nutty but whatever, it's not a big deal".
Honestly I kinda thought at the time it was gonna be some temporary bit of silliness.

I'm hoping this deleted question was "How much is your warhammer?"
Tube, do you have any other stats besides nationality on who posts here? Gender, religion, etc?
Gender I could probably pull out, although I think we got rid of that field. Religion no. I can pull out anything we ask on registration. I have no real interest in that demographic data though, I don't want to use the community for that.

Where do we send the check? Although I already went massively into that Thornwatch kickstarter to get the fancy wood box...
Seriously, that post captures a lot of what I've been thinking about why I love being in this community, while also explaining the flaws in an even-handed manner.

I think the D&D was the friends we made along the way.

Tube I don't know if it's been asked in other threads but are the PA staff still involved with Khoo socially? I don't know what he's up to these days but I like to imagine he's secretly a government agent preparing to do something super badass we'll never read about.

Yeah, we all still love Khoo. It's toughest for me actually, because I'm not local and he and I mainly hung out when I was in town for PAX. I'm going to send him a present soon but I can't say what it is because he sometimes reads these
That brings up an interesting (to me at least) question.
When people do the whole, "post awful thing/edit post with 'oh no i shouldn't'" thing, if the original post was terrible enough, does/would that ever outweigh their repentance, or at least realization that they went too far?
I think sometimes people do it as a means to get their nasty post out in the open and then quickly cover it up.

I think sometimes people do it as a means to get their nasty post out in the open and then quickly cover it up.
If the original post is shitty enough they're likely to get dinged unless their repentance reaches "visited by three ghosts" levels. Generally if it's "I regret this thing" or "whoops I broke a rule" what you originally wrote doesn't matter.
Also if your post has an edit stamp basic human curiosity means that I am certainly going to check out what you edited

You always check edited posts when you see them?
Wouldn't you?
Also only if I suspect there's something juicy in the edit.

Now I have yet another reason to feel morally superior when I add my "Edit:" footnotes. I saved Tube 7 seconds of pointless clicking.
There are currently no ads because we can't remove them for Club PA members, who have no ads as part of their whole deal. That will change once we have everything plumbed in. The why is so that the forums can come somewhere closer to covering their costs.
Do you have enough choice to bring us in to deployment decision making
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
We don't really do bad ads. They'll most likely be house ads for things like products on the store. There aren't going to be any redirects or fancy flash shit.

can we get like giant evony ads
is evony still a thing
whichever is the current browser game that advertises using elfish ladies with giant boobs even though that has nothing to do with the game
What I am most concerned about is how the ads will use the mobile screen space. If prior to implementation you could run a poll of possible UIs I would appreciate it

We won't run a poll of possible UIs because there won't be the option to change them. I'm not sure if ads even show up on mobile, my hunch is no.

Checks out.
All my friends are 6,000+ words with APA style endnotes too.
Are previous versions/edits stored somewhere?
For me, sure.
Doomed. Nothing can be unsaid.

There are no ads to click. For which I am grateful. That post felt rude.

There will one day be ads to click.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Can you elaborate on this?
How/why are there currently no ads, and how/why would that change?

I like this idea. Like have just one project wonderful ad box so we can pay a few bucks to have "Tilder is a silly goose" for 5 minutes : )

like a thanksgiving hangout (even though canadians have their own thanksgiving)
or maybe you could auction off the ability to ask for a hangout at a certain time for child's play! maybe that would be a terrible idea.
